History
Joined forces with the Dragons to drive the Burning Legion from Azeroth and succeeded, promising to never use magic again to ensure the Legion would not return. After that they concealed themselves from the world, preferring to live in seclusion atop their sacred Mount Hyjal.
A small band of Night Elves, who called themselves the Highborne, refused to give up their magic and were exiled from Kalimdor. They founded the Kingdom of Quel'thalas on the Eastern continent and started to refer to themselves as the High Elves.
The reclusive Night Elves were the first race to awaken in the World of Warcraft. These shadowy, immortal beings were the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years before Warcraft I. The Night Elves' reckless use of magic drew the Burning Legion into the world and led to a catastrophic war between the two titanic races. The Night Elves barely managed to banish the Legion from the world, but their wondrous homeland was shattered and drowned by the sea. Until recently, the Night Elves closed themselves off from the rest of the world and remained hidden atop their holy mountain of Hyjal for many thousands of years. The Legion's invasion brought the Night Elves out of their long period of slumber. They now have renewed interest in shaping the world, and for the first time are allying themselves with other races to insure the continued survival of Azeroth. As a race, Night Elves are typically honorable and just, but they are very distrusting of the 'lesser races' of the world. They are nocturnal by nature and their shadowy powers often elicit the same distrust that they have for their mortal neighbors. - Blizzard
